Announcement, Green Living Published 10/02/2007 by Danny Lipford

With all the talk about going green lately, we wanted to find out what you are doing to make a difference. Last month, we asked, “What is the most recent change you have taken to be more eco-friendly?” Here are the results, and a few tips of our own.

Installed compact florescent light bulbs - 66%

For those of you have yet to make the change, be sure to check out our guide to CFL bulbs.
Started recycling - 11%

If you weren’t one of these people, now is a great time to learn more about recycling.
Improved water conservation

We have tons of tips for conserving water from Repairing a running Toilet to Drip Irrigation
Switched to a car that gets better gas mileage - 8%
None of the above - 6%

If you’re looking for ideas, read the recap of the Clean and Green series that recently aired on CBS’ The Early Show.

You should install a cover over the attic access door.this area alone can save you 20-50% in heating and cooling.You wouldn’t use a piece of 1/4 inch plywood for a front door would you?
